Both World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Royal Rumble victor Cody Rhodes are itching for a chance to take down The Rock and his Bloodline cohorts, aiming to put an end to their reign of dominance.
They didn’t hold back in their verbal assaults on the Brahma Bull, with Rollins even dubbing The People’s Champion as “Diarrhea Dwayne.”
Russo, in his analysis on Legion of RAW podcast, juxtaposed the opening segment with The Rock’s electrifying promo from SmackDown.
He didn’t mince words in his assessment, expressing disappointment in the execution of the RAW segment and feeling that both superstars failed to make the impact they intended with their words. You can catch his full commentary and podcast episode below.
“The disparities in those two promos really shed light on different eras in wrestling, and if this opening segment was supposed to be cool, then count me out, bro,”
Russo remarked.
In his critique, Russo deemed the interaction between The Visionary (Rollins) and The American Nightmare (Rhodes) as lacking in the cool factor, contrasting it with his admiration for The Rock’s masterful performance on SmackDown.
So, what’s your take on RAW this week? The clash of titans certainly sets the stage for an intriguing storyline ahead.
